Jens Lekman – Hotwire The Ferris Wheel lyrics

There's a carnival in town Walking your dog past the old fairground From inside we hear screaming and laughter From roller coasters and merry-go-rounds Lately you've been a wreck Life called, it wanted its dreams back I'm here if you want to chat Or just keep my mouth shut If you prefer that The lonely cry of a seagull (You say) I say, "Let's do something illegal Let's get ourselves in trouble Let's just live a little So when the moon rolled in over the buildings like bowling pins We climbed over the wired fences You dropped one of your contact lenses Past the point of slumbering seals Up the hill to the Ferris wheel Hot-wire the Ferris wheel Hot-wire the Ferris wheel From up here I can see all the way to the royal palace Where did you develop those hot-wiring talents? I say, "My brother was an electrician But when he was younger he had other ambitions" I say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then please don't make it a sad song" You say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then please don't make it a sad song" I say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then please don't make it a sad song" I say, "Okay, if I'm gonna write a song about this I promise I won't make it a sad song" You'll go like this: woo! Hot-wire the Ferris wheel Hot-wire the Ferris wheel Hot-wire the Ferris wheel Hot-wire the Ferris wheel Hot-wire the Ferris wheel Hot-wire the Ferris wheel Hot-wire the Ferris wheel Explain Request ×
